NHTSA complaint #873100, filed 2000-10“Windshield wipers stopped during rain storm while traveling at 65 MPH. Wiper linkage had separated without warning due to rusting of metallic ball and wear on plastic socket in ball/socket pivot point.”
NHTSA complaint #708621, filed 1999-07“Problem with Chrysler Concorde 1996 oxygen sensor. The consumer needed to replace the oxygen sensor nine times. The dealer replaced the power control module and program to see if that was the underlying problem. (the problem still occurred) the check engine light had come on and the mechanic found the upstream oxygen sensor needed to be replaced once again. The consumer requested Chrysler to pay for the correction of the problem with the oxygen sensor. The remote to the door lock made a different sound, the driver's window was noisy and was tightened and lubed.”
